THE PRESIDENTS PRoTEGE,
How a Little Girl Captured Him With
a Bunch of Faded Flowers
From the Philadelphia Times.

From the Philadelphia Times.
The proudest little girl in the city yester-
day was diminutive 6-year-old Florence
Loux, who lives with her mother in modest
apartments on Sixth street, opposite Wash
ington square, over one of the many in that
long row of lawyers offices. When little
Florence went to school yesterday her face
was wreathed in smiles, and she breathlessly
rushed up to her teacher, Miss Diamond,
and proudly handed her large envelope,
on which was written Miss Florence
Loux. Postmaster Harrity will please
| find" The envelope contained portrait
and autograph of President Cleveland, and
a little note from the President informing
Florence that he had not forgotten her, and
thanking her for the bouquet she had given
him.
When the President was here during the
| Constitutional Centennial among his many
callers was little Florence. 1t was on the
| afternoon of the last day, just after the
President had returned to his room from
the Hlbernian dinner, that a pretty but
plainly dressed little tot walked into the
corridor of the Lafayette and asked Clerk
Fryer if the President was in. She carried
in her hand little bunch Of faded flowers,
and asked the clerk if he would send them
up to the distinguished guest.
Her manner was so earnest that the clerk
sent her up to the Presidents room herself.
Unhesitatingly she entered the room, which
was fairly filled with rare flowers, and con-
tidently advancing offered the President her
little faded bouquet. The President gravely
accepted the gift and requested his little
visitor to be seated
He entered into conversation with her,
and before she left she had confded all her
little troubles to her sympathetic listener.
Among other things, she told him that when
she was wee little thing she had fallen out
window and fractured her arm. Her
mother, she said, was poor, and was afraid
if her arm was amputated she would never
be able to support herself. She refused to
permit the amputaton, and the child re-
| covered. When she went away the Presi-
dent kissed her goodbye and told her he
would not forget her
1t has been two weeks since the President
sent her his photograph. He had remem-
bered her name, but forgotten her address,
so he sent the letter to the post Office, with
instructions TO Postmaster Harrity to find
| Florence. The postmaster instructed all his
letter-carriers to make inquiry along their
routes for the child and relate the circum-
stances about her broken arm, which the
President sent in his letter to the postmas-
ter. Yesterday morning the child was
| found. She is now busy composing an an
swer to the letter, which she will mail on
! the Presidents return to Washington

Buried Alive for Five Days.


A sergeant in the Charles Street Police
Station was startled on Wednesday by re-
port about tramp who had been found
among the half-burned cotton in John s.
Richards big warehouse ir Charlton street
The policeman who made the report said
the tramp was found alive but in a starving
state, and that the unhappy man was sup
posed to have been imprisoned in the ware
house at the time of the fire five months
ago. Talk about Rip Van Winkle," said
the policeman, with a sniff of contempt,
''why, this man beats that old Dutchman
and DR.. Tanner combined, and can stand
heat better than u salamander, if his story
is true"
In May the big warehouse caught fire and
some thousands of bales of cotton were
burning in the building several days. Hun
dreds of tons of water were pumped on the
cotton and converted into steam before the
fire was out. Since then workmen have
been digging ont the bales aud separating
the unburned cotton from the waste. On
Wednesday they uncovered the tramp, who
looked as if he had been buried there long
time He was wasted almost to skeleton
and was too weak from hunger to stand
alone. The establishment of the men who
found him was increased when he replied
feably to question: How long hereF
''Some time fore the fire. He was placed
on an express wagon and carried to the
police station. An ambulance surgeon
poured little whisky and water down the
famished mans throat and took him to Belle
levle Hospital 1t was said to be I. toss up
whether the tramp would live or die yester-
day.
He said he was John Rogan, aged 60, a
cotton spinner, but had had no work and no
home for long time Five days ago he
was gong through Charlton street, search
ing for place to Sleep in. Finding a hole
in the wall Of the warehouse, he crawled
through it and made bed in the cotton.
When he awoke after long sleep, the hole
in the wall had been closed up and he
couldn't get out. He was too weak to make
himself heard, and he resigned himself to
his fate. He had been without food for a
week when the workmen found him.
